Living in Winston-Salem currently, and not sure about the Medical profession down here. A doctor who owns and runs a skin care center told me Sciton Profile, urban doped yag laser. Just need to know if you agree?

Answer: Resurfacing There are many lasers available that are FDA approved for laser resurfacing. There isn't one laser that is "better" than the other in terms of resurfacing. It is purely based on the technique and experience of the person performing the laser. One physician may tell you an Erbium is best while another says that CO2 is the best. The best thing is to consult with different dermatologists that provide resurfacing and then ask about their results and complication rate. Don't forget to ask who is actually performing the procedure. You should get a great result with any of the resurfacing lasers as long as it is done well. Good Luck!

Answer: Laser for perioral resurfacing If you are doing the peri oral resurfacing for lines, fractional resurfacing is not very effective. Full field resurfacing in my experience is much more effective. I do like an erbium laser for this but there are many physicians that like CO2 resurfacing. Both can be very effective in the right hands. Word of warning-this is a big deal, with significant recovery and frequent redness at the treated area that can last for weeks. Good luck with your decision.
